Thanks to @jamie_bd and @encounteredu for a brilliant array of #Arctic lessons live from #Svalbard. Register here: encounteredu.com/live-lesson… @AXA_XL @BAS_News
Thanks to @nature_org for their continued #leadership in creating the scientific basis for a potential #mangrove #insurance product. #naturebasedsolutions are critical for building #resilience to #oceanrisk. @AXA_XL
Severe storms are increasingly damaging tropical mangroves, which deliver much-needed coastal resilience for communities.
@AXA_XL and @nature_org are studying the feasibility of providing insurance to protect/restore these assets: nature.ly/3IvyUKl #OceanClimateAction
